answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/02/2022 answer text <p>All farm animals are protected by comprehensive and robust animal health and welfare legislation. The Animal Welfare Act 2006 makes it an offence either to cause any captive animal unnecessary suffering or to fail to provide for the welfare needs of the animal. This is supplemented by detailed legislation to protect the welfare of livestock while on farm, as well as legislation to protect animal welfare during transport and at slaughter.</p><p> </p><p>Defra works closely with the livestock sector to encourage a productive, efficient and profitable sector. The Animal Health and Welfare Pathway will push forward and support the gradual and continual improvement in farm animal health and welfare. The pathway is a critical part of the farming reforms set out in the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/agricultural-transition-plan-2021-to-2024" target="_blank">Agricultural Transition Plan</a>, delivering benefits for animal health and welfare, farm productivity, food security, public health, UK trade and the environment. It does this by financially rewarding farmers who deliver public goods, stimulating market demand for higher welfare products and strengthening the regulatory baseline.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park question first answered 24/02/2022 17:21:39 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park
